BASIC PARASITOLOGY
The science that deals with organisms that take up their abodes Temporarily or permanently On or within other living organisms Procuring food with the relationship of these organisms to their hosts

CLASSIFICATION
Ecto-parasite : Parasite that lives outside the body of the host (infestation) Endo-parasite : Parasite which lives within the body of the host (infection)
Untan-neurosains sem 4-2011 3

CLASSIFICATION
Obligate-parasite : Parasites are completely dependent upon the host e.g : Ascaris lumbricoides Facultative-parasite : Parasites are capable of leading both a free and a parasitic existence upon the host e.g : - Strongyloides stercoralis, Tick

HOST
Harboring parasite species Usually a larger organism that provides physical protection and nourishment

DEFINITIVE HOST
The host that harbors the adult or sexual stage of the parasite e.g : - Ascaris lumbricoides man Intermediate host : Another animals that take place part or all of the larval or asexual stage e.g : - Plamodium mosquito man - Filaria man mosquito

RESERVOIR HOST
Animals that harbor the same species of parasites as man and act as additional sources of human infection E.g : - Trichinella spiralis Rh : pig, rat, bear - Brugia malayi Rh : monkey, cat, dog

Intermediate hosts
Transmission in a passive capacity. Part or all of the larval or asexual stage may take place in another animal such as the snail , Cyclops or Diaptomus.

VECTORS
Hosts that transmit parasites to man e.g. : mosquitos in malaria / filariasis glossina in sleeping sickness Africa

ZOONOSIS
Animal diseases which can be transmitted to humane e.g.:Blantidiosis (Balantidium coli)

Reproduction
asexual : binary fission, schizogony, cyst formation sexual : Gametogony, sporogony,
conjugation

alternating asexual and sexual

Pathology
Tissue damage by :

invasion enzyme toxin immune response

Untan-neurosains sem 4-2011

Infection
Acute fatal Sub clinical Chronic/latent Relapse/ acute exacerbation

Entomology
deals with insects, arachnids, and other arthropods which cause pathology / role in transmission infective agents The arthropods involved may be as : 1. the causal agents (S.scabiei) 2. intermediate hosts (cyclops) 3. vectors. (Aedes, Anopheles)
